Case Studies - Jonathan Ford

Rainhill based accountancy firm Jonathan Ford has been using a document management system provided by Online DMS Limited.

Using a broadband connection they are able to share standard company documentation in a secure environment through the company website.

The initiative enables the firm's client's benefit from secure, 24 hour on line access to their accounts and financial details in addition to being able to submit their tax returns via the system.

Jonathan Ford, principal at the firm comments: "We have essentially installed software which allows our clients 24 hour access to their accounts through the use of broadband. We are currently offering this service to a selection of our clients; however as technology becomes more and more important I'm sure this is something which could have a positive impact across the whole accounting profession. Besides this being seen as a valuable part of our service by clients it has also proved to be much more cost effective and reliable than traditional post."

Phillip Ramsey of Online DMS Limited explained: "The system is flexible, allowing participating businesses to share company documentation via the internet, it removes barriers to mobile and flexible working by giving staff access to documents and information wherever they are and enables cross-organisational collaboration, work flow and data sharing, regardless of their size or resource."

As a by-product, Online DMS Limited have offered secure and stable back-up of key documentation and information and have provided training and support, as well as in-depth monitoring of the system to ensure participants are getting the most out of the system.
